New Poor Laws Commission proposes statewide system
A Pennsylvania statewide Poor Law Commission proposes abolishing Overseers and creating a Poor Law Commissioner with broad control. The plan localizes districts, sets director terms, and mandates funding by county taxes and bonds. It delays rules until governor approval, shifts children under 16 to families or industrial schools, and preserves individual responsibility for family upkeep.
